本曲大意

这首歌显然描写的是异国之恋。老美在二次世界大战、韩战、越战时,与亚洲诸多国家的当地女孩坠入情网,唯战后这些老外得随军返国,许多鸳鸯因此被拆散,这首歌描述的正是此一典例。早年由马龙‧白兰度主演的『樱花恋』及关家倩主演的『苏丝黄的世界』都是描写异国之恋的经典电影,值得租来一看回味一下。
英文歌词
Rose, Rose, I love you with an aching heart. What is your future, now we have to part? Standing 1 on the jetty as the steamer moves away. Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.
Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose. Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes. In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret, "Please make way for Rose," you can hear them say.
All my life I shall remember oriental music and you in my arms. Perfumed flowers in your tresses, lotus€?cented breezes and swaying palms.
Rose, Rose, I love you with your almond eyes. Fragrant 2 and slender, neath tropical skies. I must cross the seas again and never see you more, way back to my home on a distant shore.
Rose, Rose, Ill leave you; my ship is in the bay. Kiss me farewell, now; theres nothing to say. East is east and west is west. Our worlds are far apart. I must leave you now, but I leave my heart.

歌词翻译

玫瑰,玫瑰,我爱妳爱得心都痛了。现在我们要分开了,妳将何去何从呢?当轮船开航时,我看到妳站在码头上。美丽的马来亚之花啊!我无法停留。
让路,哦,为我美丽的东方玫瑰让路。不论她走到哪里,男人都会蜂拥而上去看她。不管她坐黄包车经过街道时或在酒店里,你都会听到有人喊道:『请让路给玫瑰!』
我一辈子都会记得东方音乐和妳在我怀中的情景,妳的鬈发插上了弥漫香味的花朵,棕榈树在飘着莲花香的微风中摇曳。
玫瑰,玫瑰我爱妳及妳那双杏眼,在热带蓝天下妳身上散发出芬芳,且身影窈窕。我必须再度启程前往大洋遥远的另一端,那是我生长的故乡。我再也见不到妳了。
玫瑰,玫瑰,我要离开妳了,我的船就在海湾。和我吻别,现在毋需再多说。东方是东方,西方是西方。我们的世界相隔那么远。我现在必须离开妳,但我把心留给妳。
